This is a transcript of the June 26, 2025 update of the Bishop Well Incident by the ECMC Commissioners in a special meeting, published to YouTube.

If you appreciate the work we do, will you buy us a coffee?

In a special meeting on June 26, 2025, ECMC representatives announced Notice of Alleged Violation (NOAV) 404256913, issued to Noble Energy Inc as a result of the Bishop A07 blowout incident on April 6, 2025. The NOAV is searchable via the ECMC’s COGIS Incident Inquiry database.

Additional documents regarding the Bishop well blowout are available at the spill and facility doc pages at the ECMC:

• https://ecmc.state.co.us/cogisdb/Resources/Docs?classid=03%7e09&id=483510

As per ECMC regulations, Noble Energy Inc will have an opportunity to respond to the NOAV. While not announced today, we hope the ECMC will announce a significant penalty for this record-breaking environmental disaster, as they did for the Firestone Tragedy.
